At Warsaw Technological University (where I study) each course has one humanistic classes and we have philosophy. Tomorrow I have a test and one of the issues are thought of Thomas Aquinas. Should I sue the University of discriminating the Orthodox?

You should thank the University for allowing you the opportunity to be exposed to one of the greatest Theologians and Philosophers ever to live.

ACK

I despise Aquinas as a theologian.

He was humongously heretical.

That's funny considering the fact that in the past there EO theologians who thought Aquinas was great.

I'm aware there are some EO theologians who thought Aquinas was great. But that is simply unfortunate, because his heresies are obvious.

I think I woke up every hour last night. I may fall asleep in the middle of teaching a lesson today.

WOW that stinks. I hope and pray you feel better!

Thanks. I hope I do too but also hope I fall asleep in the middle of a lesson. It would freak my students out and having confused students is the goal of all good High School teachers.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who can watch the watchmen?"No one is paying attention to your post reports"Why do posters that claim to have me blocked keep sending me pms and responding to my posts? That makes no sense.

Like pointing out how impossible it is for you to spell possible correctly?

Haha. Good catch. In light of all of my typos (spelling?) and misspelled words, I am surprised that I have not been arrested for violence against the English language.

I've just finished a harrowing 14 hour shift, yet I will be sitting on the computer for the next 3 hours and thirty eight minutes waiting to put a last minute bid on a Spinning Wheel on Ebay that I will have to drive for four and a half hours to pick up. How sad is my life?

I don't know. How sad is it that we've got 14,450+ posts on this forum when the next guy only has 11,636, and together the two of us have contributed a combined 7.4% of the total posting volume on the world's largest English-language Orthodox forum?

Thirty seven minutes to go....the tension is almost unbearable!

Well that was a complete waste of time! People seem to go crazy in the last 5 minutes on Ebay, don't they? This second hand Spinning wheel went for more than the cost of a brand new one in the end! I just ordered one from an online store (which I could have done hours ago and been in bed by now!)

That is how it always happens. You think you are getting a great deal and then within the last few minutes the price increases 200%.

The price increased over 500% in this case! Why would you pay more than the price of a new item plus delivery for a second hand item you have to pick up?

My cousin miraculously sold a broken mobile phone (cracked and someone disfunctional), and even advertising its bad shape with pictures, expecting to sell for 20 or 30 got over 150 for it. He and I were shocked! The last five minutes can really be addicting.
